iOS UI Tweak

023/365

This is not a normal idea in the sense of this blog but I wanted to post this here anyway. I'm not sure if something changed with the iPhone's iPod controls in the update from iOS 4.1 to 4.2 but lately I have been accidentally hitting the rewind button |<< which causes me to lose my place. I propose, that when a user is listening to an audiobook or a podcast, the OSD iPod controls be turned into a 30-second rewind button and a play/pause button, instead of the traditional rew, play/pause, fwd buttons. It doesn't have to do this in the iPod app itself but it definitely should make this change on the lock screen and the pop-up iPod control bar. I think it just makes sense.
